THE ANNUAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT

THE ANNUAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT (AQAR) OF THE IQAC – 2007-08
Introduction
S.I.V.E.T. College owes its birth to the far sighted vision of Former Hon’ble Judge, late
Thiru.S.A.Ayyasami Chettiar, M.A.,B.L. Its aim is to promote education to socially and
economically backward students of the region.
The college offers eight U.G. programs of three years duration and two P.G. programs
with two years duration in Shift I. In addition to, Shift-II [Self-Finance Stream] also has four U.G.
programs and three P.G. programs. Accreditation by NAAC with B++ and grant-in-aid by U.G.C.
has helped to scale to great heights in performance by the sheer guidance and financial
assistance by the management authorities. Besides, the college is also authorized and
permitted by the University of Madras to conduct Doctoral Programs in Mathematics and
Commerce. The sprawling 28 Acres has gained an optimum utilization and is now well guarded
by a concrete compound gated wall.

The academic growth and quality has attained fame in the recent years. The fame and
name has made the Management to start the Self-Finance stream (II shift) for students who
have been deprived with the pleasures of studying in a college on account of varied reasons.
The Self-Finance (II shift) started in the year 1992 with two U.G. courses - Computer Science
and Electronics and Communications – is now with six U.G. programmes and three P.G.
programmes adhering to the norms and syllabus of University of Madras. It has a student
strength of 1250 (both Boys & Girls) and the Staff strength of 80 to cater to their intellectual
2
needs and Non-teaching staff to the strength of 26 for Administrative assistance to the
authorities.
IQAC is formed with all the Heads as its active members and the Principal as
coordinator. The committee is chaired by the secretary of the college. The committee prepares
an action plan every year which tries to augment the overall growth and personality of each
student (enclosed).
The college follows the pattern of syllabi approved by the University of Madras at the
U.G. and P.G. levels. The introduction of new programs or change in syllabus denies flexibility
by the Governing body. Despite these hurdles faculty members at various tenures have been in
the academic bodies of University of Madras and have even contributed to the redesigning of
syllabus.
The college council in accordance to the instruction and guidance of the management
adheres to the University norms framed from time to time for the overall progress of the
student.
The Action plan is always framed at the beginning of the academic year with additions
and omissions in vogue.
Plan I was to maintain punctuality and discipline amidst students.
The II Plan was to evolve measures to make the student get prepared for the
forthcoming exams.
The III Plan was to conduct seminars and National conferences in the college.
Adhering to the action plan stipulations, the following achievements have been done
which in turn not only improved the results but also the personality of students from the rural
background.
3
Students from each class were identified and individual attention was stressed upon.
Printouts of essays were given and explained line by line in a bi-lingual manner. Students were
asked to take the tests and the assessment shown to the students has highly improved them.
These efforts with the help of the Management and Heads lead to a considerable result
in the English pass percentage. The main stress is in English as the college is in semi rural
background and all the major subjects are taught in English.
Tests were conducted and students were asked to prepare projects. Individual viva-voce
was also conducted to check and assess the students. Subjects like communication skills in
English Part I & Part II are dealt with.
Besides, the departments conducted regular tests (month wise) and marks are entered
in the registers. Absentees and poor performers’ parents were informed over phone (numbers
collected from Database). Assignments were given and based on the overall performance of the
student, internal marks were given.

gained an optimum utilization and fruition. These units have been successful in conducting
Blood Donation Camps with the NCC, Special Camps on Health and Hygiene, Environmental
Protection, Literacy and Small Savings. These units have also participated in the rallies on evils
against illicit arrack, anti-plastic rally and in friends of police. They have joined hands with the
traffic police in regulating traffic in the nearby arterial roads. Camps are conducted once in a
year and thereby improving the environment where it’s held.
YRC & RRC:
Blood Donation Camps with the NCC, Special Camps on Health and Hygiene,
Environmental Protection, Literacy and Small Savings are done. These units have been the arms
of the major extension programs in the college.

magazines, general knowledge competitive exam books and new arrivals are kept in an open
stack for various usages. Books are lent to students as per the schedule displayed on the library
notice board.
Students feed back
The greatest way to improve one’s self is to get criticized. This is done in the other way
as getting a feedback from the student’s class representatives. Students being the best judges
of a class, the representative from each class are asked to fill up the questionnaire handouts
which comprise with the performance of staff, teaching methods, infra structure related
question and finally opting for any comments and suggestions. These questionnaires are
collected and handed over to the principal and management authorities for scrutiny and
remedial measures.

Activities and support from Alumni Association
The alumni have been contacted periodically for suggestions regarding placement,
scholarships and sponsors for financially backward students.
Activities and support from Parent – Teaching Association: Economically poor students are
encouraged to go for higher education by extending financial support out of teacher’s
contribution.
Health services:
The community services of the college have not alone dealt with extension programs
but also have created awareness on health and hygiene among students and staff. Health
checkups by government doctors, Eye and Dental checkup by private medical hospitals have
